Miami

Cathedral of St Mary in Miami, Florida:

Miami is a city in southeastern Florida. As of the 2000 census, the city's population was 362,470, but the metropolitan areas's population was 5.4 million.

Miami has many links to Central America, Latin America, and the Caribbean, as well as being home to a large Spanish-speaking population, in particular a large Cuban community which makes up over a third of Miami's population. Because of these links with other parts of the western hemisphere, the city is sometimes known as the "Gateway to the Americas".

Miami is also the site of one of the largest and most important sea ports in the United States. The Port of Miami is used both for cargo, and passenger traffic, and is in fact the busiest passenger port in the country, and has been for over a decade. It is from the sea port that Miami gets two of its other nicknames: "Cargo Gateway of the Americas", and "Cruise Capital of the World" - the latter in recognition of the many cruise ships which sail from the port.

Attractions in the Miami area include:

Jungle Island (formerly Parrot Jungle)
Miami MetroZoo
Monkey Jungle
